Review of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
Is this as good as or better than Inuyasha? God no. Is this sequel needed? Not really. no Is this sequel still fun to watch? Yes. It is. Especially all three girls are very likable. They will quickly grow on you though you may find Towa a little OP or Moroha just a comic relief character because there were many times I felt very frustrated with what they are doing to Moroha. Remember Towa is the MC and the other two are like 2nd MCs. Towa is givin most of the focus and many a times we don't feel like she earned her powers or any upgrades shegets but if you bear through it and just enjoy her kicking ass then it'll be fun enough. Just don't question from where she is learning so much in so little time even though her more experienced twin sister and cousin are not as strong as her.
The first half the season is a little slow but still fun. The supporting cast are fine but don't expect too much of the OG cast. Sesshomaru is the most seen character of the OG cast followed by Miroku, Kohaku and Kaede.
Don't expect the OG cast to swoop in and save the day and don't get disappointed by seeing what happens to them after all the hurdles they faced and crossed.
Overall it's a fun time. The 2nd half of the anime is the best part. Once the story starts to kick in and all the girls get proper attention you will really start to enjoy the show and see the girls as a team instead of just 3 awkward strangers traveling together because they need to slay a demon.
The problem with the story is most of the time we feel like there is no proper goal that binds these 3 together like our Inutachi and that is true. These 3 are literally stumbling into the main plot. As long as you don't compare too much and just have fun for what the episode is you will like Yashahime. There is little romance towards the end but nothing like what is shown in Inuyasha, it's more like start of something new which we don't know what it properly is type.
Don't expect the story to be as good as Inuyasha due to the lack of a common cause from the start and lack ofnumber of episodes to make all the characters grow the way Inuyasha anime did but in the end the Girls are worth watching and you can see they start to really care for one another and are finally opening up to one another as you grow nearer to the end.
There is a story but you just gotta be a little patient. It did keep the suspense up on what happened to the OG cast and what in the world is happening.
I am also really excited for Season 2.
